Frunk won't latch
I opened my frunk today with no problem, had the 'bonnet' open for a few hours while I worked on the car and now the frunk won't latch when I close it. I've tried spraying the latch mechanism with WD40 but it had no effect.
Any help appreciated. Many thanks.

Re: Frunk won't latch
Have you tried pushing the catch closed with a screwdriver to see whats happening? Cable isn't binding is it?

Re: Frunk won't latch
You should know where your frunk is located by now Jimi
I had this issue on my last 2, as stated above I pushed the latch back in with a screw driver and then sprayed some WD40 (other lubrication sprays are also available) on the mechanism and also inside the cable while a friend repeatedly pulled the leaver inside the car. That sorted it for me.
